A humble sailor
We did it. Its tuff. But the home makes the difference in our lives. Betting on wage increases over the long term is hard to calculate but an important part of taking on more debt financing. Rates for mortgages are still low and can aid that financial decision against increases in future wages.
You should. Its an anti siphon device that as described in other posts can be repaired/ replaced. But your best bet is to replace the entire spigot because of age and variation in parts ( they are not universal and every manufacturer loves to discontinue parts) if this was damaged because the hoses/ splitter was left on during freezing weather it probably damaged the entire unit. You should also install a isolation valve when you replace it for future issues. Also as others stated it is a frost free spigot and truly is not a big job with some common plumbing. Its usually accessible in the joist below the floor not so much “in the wall”
E: and take the damn hose off in the winter
